SAN ANTONIO, April 19 - The 38,000 fans in the sold out Alamodome tomorrow night are in for non-stop action as the undercard for the WBC Super Welterweight World Champion Canelo Alvarez and WBA Super Welterweight Austin "No Doubt" Trout showdown is now complete.

In the SHOWTIME EXTREME headliner, Houston's Charlo, twin brother of top contender Jermell, puts his perfect 12-0 (8 KO's) record on the line when he battles veteran Mexican contender Orlando Lora (29-3-2, 19 KO's) in a super welterweight bout scheduled for eight rounds.

The vacant WBC Silver Super Bantamweight title will be up for grabs as well when Queretaro, Mexico's Andres Gutierrez (25-0-1, 21 KO's) faces countryman Salvador "Sal II" Sanchez (30-5-3, 18 KO's), the nephew of the late Salvador Sanchez.

I think the paying customers will be pissed off once again after Trout leaves with Canelo's belt.

Now i'm getting anxious for this rumble tomorrow! I say Canelo's commitment to the body will be the difference maker in this one...and I think people will be surprised to see how well he hangs with Trout blow for blow. Give me Canelo by SD in a thriller!

SouthPaul says:

Hilarious weigh in photo. The contrast. I'm thinking it's the Neapolitan Of Boxing. Oscar being the cross dressing strawberry flavor. Anyhow, the size difference is bit worrisome if you're backing Canelo. And it ain't just that, it's size with plentiful skill to boot. Nevertheless my original pick stands. I got Canelo winning a NASCAR type decision . He'll lap Trout with fast movement and he'll land plenty of effective punches.

If Trout is able to not let the scores get too lopsided , say if he legitimately loses by 2 or 3 rounds ...that'll be enough for him to be some people's champion . Folks been hollering robbery since the fight was signed so I certainly expect to see plenty of over zealous score cards in his favor.

I can always see the truth. Is the red-headed hype win, there will be doubt. And either I or Trout will bytch shout! Holla!
